“The result is already out?”“Yes!”Talking with Aiden, Elton can’t help but be excited on what the result would be. He was on the phone with his sister, Sylphia, as for some reason she stole it from him to bring it to Dr. Manfreder herself.“Where is it?”“It was with Sylphia”“And how did it fall in her hands?”Not being able to hear Elton’s answer, the door burst open with Sylphia coming out of that door. A paper on her hand and a big smile like smirk.“The result is here”As soon as they heard her voice, Aiden stood up to read the information written on the paper.“99.999%”He mumbled as a smile escapes his lips.“I knew it, I knew it was her”“Oh god, this is insane… but why is she with that bastard? Why did Brylle have lea?”Looking at his friend that was full of confusion, never did they ever thought that Aiden can speak such words to those people.“You dare ask, I know Paul, that bastard surely have a connection with this”Even if he was certain that it was Paul who did that,
“Aiden, How was your-“Standing up as soon as he saw Aiden’s car back in the mansion, Aiya, Elton, and Sylphia was waiting for him in the front door.“I told you it wasn’t that easy”Silphia mumbled as she stands up from sitting in the cocoon chair. Ready to leave the mansion right away. After all, Lea isn’t there so she have no reason as to why she would stay in that place any longer.“Aiden…”Hearing how he slam the door, he they knew that things didn’t went well. They knew that. after all, if it did work, Lea would surely be with him when he get back.By just texting on her phone, the driver came to pick Sylphia.“Where are you going?”“What? You don’t expect me to stay here, do you?”And so Sylphia left the mansion. Leaving Aiya patting her boyfriend’s back as she was well aware of the fact that he is worried to Aiden.“Let’s go too. Let’s give him some time alone. He needs it”Looking at the mansion’s door, he can do nothing. Just like before, he can do nothing to help his dear f
‘I don’t think what I was doing is right. I am checking her things without even having her consent about it… but… no matter what I say for me to stop, my hand won’t let me close the journal. I want to read it. I want to know what was inside of it. Because I feel like… if ever I don’t do so, I would regret it for the rest of my life…’Reading what was inside, the date shows the exact day when he went in that auction. The day when he bought Lea.[And I met this person, his name was Aiden. Aiden Lazarus]A small smile then curved his lips. For each words that he read, he can’t help but hear her speaking those.[The first time I saw him… I can never forget what he said. “What a beautiful name. Now, don't let me down… be the most beautiful bride you can ever be” and just like that, I am now here in his mansion as the Mrs. Lazarus. I never even thought I would marry someone! Let alone.. get married like that. it is not what I thought it would be.”For some reason, Lea’s face pops on his min
“Who…”Not being able to finish what she was about to say, the girl came in. With her long brown hair, it took her no time to have a short boy cut hair with its bright orange color.‘Woah…’Surprised, the only thing she can do was take a step forward.“Who are-“Again, she did not have the chance to complete her words. With the pair of hands holding her mouth, numbers of footstep can be heard from the corridor outside“Where is she? Did you see her?”“No, I loss her”“How can you lose her when she was right in front of your damn eye?”“She was fast and-““Idiot!”Hearing the words of those people outside, she can’t help but have hunch on what the situation really is. Whispering on her ears, luckily, Brylle is in deep slumber.“By any chance, can you lend me pair of clothes?”“Y-yes…”No matter why she was chased by those people, there is only one thing that Lea is certain of. She must do as she says. In this type of situation, she was the one with no power. even if Brylle was With her
Lea POVI am still not sure of what happened, but even Brylle is making such a worried look on his face.Holding my hands so tight, he keeps on apologizing for how he fell asleep leaving me in that frightening situation. But to tell the truth, it wasn’t his fault to begin with. If I am just careful enough and fast enough to lock the door then none of this would ever happen. But still… I can’t help but feel like something as odd in everything that happened.“I will make sure that none of this would ever happen again, Lea”“Brylle, it is fine. Nothing bad happened to me, right? That is what matters the most”Shaking his head, I know this would run through his mind for a long time. This guy, what did I do in my life to be blessed to have him by my side? Even if I don’t recall my memories from the past, I can say that meeting him is the best thing that happened to me.“That is why I really love you…”I mumbled out of my realization. I didn’t intend to blur it out like that. but his eyes l
“Madame, we can’t just leave you here”“Are you telling me you should go with me in the restroom then? Even if you are my guard that Brylle entrusted… I think that is a bit…”Acting as if I am really worried about that matter, that shaken the guard of those two.“But madame, the maids are not yet back. Would you mind waiting till they return?”Putting my hand on my face, I dare not let them see how much annoyed I was right now. Can they just let me be?? I want to find someone, I need to see Mira for her to help me. I don’t know what is happening with Brylle… I am worried. I hope he would be alright soon…But before that, I must really shake these people off.“I can no longer wait. I got to go. Don’t follow me”“But madame!”“Show I shout and call you two pervert? I need to go inside! Don’t follow me!”Did… did I shout that loud? I can feel the gaze of other people looking at our direction but in know that I should just let it be. It is not as if they would do anything for that.Lookin
Aiden POVI was on my way to get out of this shop where Elton likes to purchase his suit. Of all places he went to far to go in here. just because the owner of this shop is someone he knew. And on top of that he even give me a hassle by urging me to go with him.Who would have thought that this rascal would end up doing some of my jobs just to help me have a time to went out and join him here?“I am done, I need air. Just how long are you going to choose your suit Elton?”With a frown on my face, I stand up. But as soon as I face the entrance of this boutique, an angel suddenly appears running towards me.In glimpse of my thought I almost thought that it was just hallucinations. For night after night what I always see was her face. What I always see was that day…Sorrow and anger, hatred and all, just seeing her face made all of it vanish in an instant.That was then I though to myself. How mean would I be if I snatch her away? Will it be bad it I would be the one to get something fro
“Oh Claudia… dear… you brought her back…” Kneeling soon as he heard the news, Menandro can’t help but be emotional. He also didn’t get much sleep. Even those people around him can’t help but be worried by his condition. He is not getting younger after all. “Master…” A knock was then heard. Judging by that voice, Menandro was certain it was Gino. The adoptive son of Augustus. “Gino, please prepare the car” “Yes sir, right away” Holding the necklace that holds the ring of his beloved, he kissed it and smile. “I will also do my work… you did well, honey. You did well… I will not waste this opportunity… I promise…” With his belief that this thing is a stepping stone for things to be done right, Menandro can’t help but be filled with courage, after seeing how his son was devastated by that incident, he did check through things much deeper than he thought. “But really… why is your niece in that investigation? Carl… isn’t he the son of your younger sister??” Talking to his wife as i
“Lian, look, Mom and dad looks happy by just seeing the sight”Lia mumble smiling as she crosses her hand. Blessed with a family that loves her so much, she grew up to a fine woman. Inherited the company of her father that was originally owed by her grandma. And as for Lian, he took Menandro’s step. It was a shock to the world when the news about his death was announced. But he lived a long life if one can say. More than that, he died with a smile on his eyes. As if he is contented in the life he had. As if… he was glad that the time has come. As if he was waiting for that very day all his life. No one knows where he is now, as no one can really tell where people goes when they die. But there is one thing that all people who knows him too well could never deny, That old man is surely looking for his beloved. Claudia. Cladia Lazarus. Aiden’s mother. Menandro’s one and only beloved.“I think we should just let them have a sweet time. How about lets have icecream?”Lian mumbled in r
“Estrella, do you still remember me?”Waving her hand on the poor old woman, she can’t seem to remember her. Shaking her head, the other lady just shrug her hand. Not knowing what else to do after seeing her old acquaintance.She lived a life full of luxury on her hand. Getting whatever she wants for doing bad deeds. Although she did regret it after all things vanish from her sight, it was late. It was so late for her to do so. Karma is surely strong. All deeds you did will have its way to you. So if you did bad things, await that the day would come and it would hunt you… in the time you never know. In the time you never expect…“You… leave me alone! I- I don’t want… anyone! Anyone… to come near me… you fucking son of a bitch… they are all a fraud… they shall all be punished to death!!- cough ah cough”Coughing, the woman can see that the person talking to her is already gone. Indeed, no person would dare get near her. After all, she would just brush them away.Living her life with n
“ And here we present to you, the son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lazarus, Lian Lazarus and Lia Lazarus!”Its been years since the two announced to the world the birth of Lea, but it was the very first time that they finally introduce Lia and Lian to the world. “You have such beautiful daughter and handsome son Lea”“It is good to see you again, Aiya. Where is Aielle?”“Elton took that kid, they will be right back here soon”Smiling, a small tap suddenly call Lea’s attention. “Mira!”She giggled in excitement as it has been so long since they last met each other“How have you been?”Friends is something you can find easily. But true friendship is the one that is hard to find, hard to build. That is why for some people, they treasures it so much. Since they value the bond they build.“I am doing good. Wait, is that you cecil?”Surprised as she saw the daughter of Sylphia and Luther together with Mira’s child, Remi. It was a surprise for her.“Hola Tia Lea, Tia Aiya” Cecil greeted
“ This is so boring, why must they have a vacation on their own? They didn’t even brought us with them”Fumming about her thoughts, Lian was reading a book while Lia is there laying her back in Lian’s bed. “They need to have time together too, sis. And with the mess you did… it doesn’t seems like you are bored at any rate”Closing the book he was holding, he pick up the pile of paper scattered on the ground. It was a number of clothes that Lia drawn a while ago. To think that she was able to drawn that many with just a small period of time, Lian can’t help but be awe in his sister’s doings. But still, the fact remains that his room is not in mess after piles of papers are scattered. Both crumbled and finely flat papers.“ I will clean it later, I told you that already ““ Yeah, but, do you really not want to show mom and dad this things? I mean, they are good”“As if it is any better than what you might have done”Looking down, he didn’t say a word. There was one time that Lia saw
“ What do you think about this? Lian? Do you think mom and dad would love this? “With her hand touching her chin, Lia is grown up like a small version Lea. But not like her, she did not get some of her talents as it was Lian who excel in those things. “ I am sure that she would think it was a disaster “Just by looking at the cake that she decorated, it was a mess. The same mess- no, it would be easier to say that it was even messier than what their father created once Lea let him join her in baking. Baking is a hobby that Lea started to taken a liking in to as there was no much thing to do in the house than read and take care of the two. And one can say that she is now good on it as she practiced every single day. Although practice makes perfect, for some people, even with an enormous times of practice, even if they practice with their whole life, there are just things that we are not good into. “What?? that is so mean of you lian. As if you could do any better than me!”Poutin
“Mr. Menandro, this is the item that you asked us to buy”Nodding his head he let those people know that it is fine if they all went back to what they are doing. Seeing the pile of boxes that was in front of him, Menandro can’t help but have a small smile on his lips. Never once did he thought that the day would come where he would see little children walking and running around the house. The very child that have his blood. The children he can call his grandchild. “I wonder of Lian and Lia would love this presents i prepared for them”Mumbling, he may be older than Mr. Augustus but the fact still remains that Menandro is really fond in children. He just doesn’t know how to interact with them.But even the head butler who have been with him and was his companion in the past years was aware of the fact that the guy he was serving do have a soft spot for Aiden, Lea, Lian, and Lia.“They will surely love anything you give them, master”Slightly bowing his head, Mr. Augustus can’t help
** The day before Lian and Lia was born **“Are you alright? Lea?”Looking at his pitiful wife, Aiden never know that it would be that hard to give birth to a child. And the fact that it was a different case since Lea is pregnant with twins, Aiden can’t help but think of how much it must have been for Lea’s body.“Yes… I think so…”She mumbled as she can’t help but catch her breathe. Her stomach is now as big as a watermelon, no, it looks as if it is much bigger than that. even her appetite was doubled. It is not an exaggeration since she is eating not for just one person but three. Holding her stomach, Aiden can’t help but held it with his hands. Thinking of how nice it must have been to finally see them at last.“Tell me if there is anything else that I can do for you, okay? Don’t push your self too hard, lea”His eyes was full of worries as he let their hands be intertwined with each other. Never once in their life did they thought that it would come to this. But life is just so m
All my life I can get what I want. I am the precious daughter of my family. I live a life like a princess. But life isn’t like a fairy tale. My life had ups and downs too. And I am lucky to have a person who was with me through all those times. “Love? Good morning…”Whispering to my ears, my husband hugged me on my back. It was but a simple thing he always do when we are alone. But lately, even in front of other people, he didn’t feel shy to hug me like this. I can’t say that I don’t want this but… it surely makes me embarrassed somehow. Still… how can I say that to him? huh? Tell me, how??“Good morning love”I greeted him as I smile. Cooking breakfast for someone you love, I never thought that a time like this would come. I am surely lucky in my life-“Ouch-“Jolting, it made Elton be surprised too. I am so clumsy… how could I burn my finger like this? It is so embarrassing. Now is the time that I would look like a good wife. Now is the time that I can show him my good sides… but…
Love isn’t something that I wished to have. In my life, it is but a nuisance. Something that would just hinder plans. Something that I know I will never felt. As I am the daughter of the man who is the most powerful in our country. Among all women living in here, I can say that I am the most powerful one. “First lady…”I mumbled. It wasn’t something that I would love to be called. It isn’t something I I even asked to have. But somehow, the day just came and I become the one like that.My mother died when I was young. I am not even sure what might be the reason behind those. But as the only women to support my father, I was named as the first lady.“There is so much works needed…”Holding my nape, I can’t help but have so much things to do in my platter. It is not that I do not wish to have it but… it is indeed tiring.“Hah…”I look at my laptop and saw a photo of Aiden and Lea. A smile then escapes my lips. I didn’t even notice. Knock knock knockIs what I heard before the door open
